WY.HAN. This important Woburn family, living near the Billerica
line, often appears incidentally in our records, but lias rarely furnished
inhal)itants. The brothers .Fohn and Francis were among the first settlers
of Woburn. They purchased of President Dunster. of Harvard College.
his Shawshin grant of 500 acres. The deed bears date, 1655, ^lay 10, or a
few days before Shawshin became Billerica. and describes the land: •"500
acres, lying scituate at Shawshinn. betwixt the lands of Capt. Gookin up
the streame and the lands lately given to Edward Collins down the streame
of Shawshinn river, bounded with Woburne line on that end which towards
Woburne is sided, and reaching onwards towards the township so far as to
make up due measure." The price paid was £100. Collins" grant, below,
extended to the Woburn road, and was sold to Champney ; and Gookin's
farm, above, was about ^'ine brook and mostly in Bedford. Stephen
Kichardson. 2, ^^â– ho first appears as occupant of these lands, was a gr.-son
of Fi'ani'is \V\yman. and probably inherited a part or all ,of it. Questions
about the taxation of the Wymans arose between Woburn and Billerica,
and in October, 1669, the matter came before the General Court, and a
WYMAN— YOUNG. 167
coiTimittee advised: "Whereas, Frances & John AVeymans, Sen"- have
their present habitaeions neere the Lyne * and enioying much of
y lively hood and benefit at both Towns, and may partake of the
publick ordinances in both places, they, the said Weymans. shall contribute
equally to both Towns, in all public charges, botli civell and eclisiasticall."
This report was accepted and contlrined by the Court, but did not terininaLe
the difficulty. In 1672, the Wymans petition for release from Billerica, and
Billerica instructs the selectmen to prosecute them for not paying their
dues ; but the result was against the claims of this town. Two daughters

in our history, because his house, in the southeasterly corner of the town,
became the refuge of Adams and Hancock, on the memorable day of

FAMILY NAMES.
FAMILY NAJIES OCCURRING IN BILLERICA BEFORE 1700.
The following list gives the Jiaine of tlie first settler, bearing the name,
and the date of iiis first known rt>si(lence in town. In a few cases, notably
those of Brown. Foster, and Parker, the line has not been continuous. Of
the eighty-three families of the 17tli century, the following are now repre-
sented ill town by descendants who bear the name; Baldwin, Crosby,
Farmer. Frost. Hill. Kittredge. Manning. Patten. Kichardson. Rogers,
Shed. Stearns, and AVhiting. rhe families of Danforth ami Pollard have
also female representatives. And if the inquiry be extended, as is proper,
to the bounds of ancient Billerica, we may add the names of Bacon,
Brown. Fitch. French, Kidder. Lane, Levistone, Marshall, Page, and Trull.
With these additions, it appears that twent\-five families, or almost one in
three remain, after two hundred years, in the ancient bounds of the town.

CORNEAL. This reconl occurs. 1698-9, Jan. 3 : ^-The town do grant
to Peter Cornelious. a frenchman inhabiting among us, about fourteen acres
of upland toward Jonathan ballding, and joining to piece of upland of
Serg' John Marshall, and a division of meadow of his"; for which land
he was to i)ay the town five shillings pei- acre.
CROSBY. .5. Josiah, was. I think, the lieutenant and captain of that
name in the Louisburg expedition. 1745. It is clear from the records that
this military officer could not have been the son (Josiah, 14) who died in
town about 1743. but was not. as the text suggests. •• killed by the Indians."
and his son Josiah was only fourteen years old in 174r>. " But the first
•Josiah. 5, had been long known in the IJecords as ••Sergeant," and thus,
if he did go to the war. would be likely to have a commission; and.
although he describes himself as feeble, iii his will, in 1743, he may have
recovered from an illness, and yielded, at sixty-seven, to the impulses of
his military career and the call of Pepperell. and gone to hardships anil
perils which i)roved fatal to the veteran.
